This one started (way back in July) when the
Art Gallery of Greater Victoria invited me
to participate in their first ever Paint-In the Square,
(in honor of the city of Victoria's 150th Anniversary).
The event's on site coordinator and all round fantastic guy,
Ben Fast, recorded his take on the day here .
The building in this painting is Victoria's City Hall,
which is beside the "Paint-In the Square's",
Centennial Square. As I painted the building
these two figures appeared on the canvas.
(Linnyland paintings evolve to include
whatever shows up on the canvas while I paint.)
And, I just learned that beautiful Melanie listened carefully
as I explained how this sort of thing occurs in
Linnyland paintings, with her kind words she has
described it here .
I love her description,"heart-centered",
which has me thinking of how fortunate
I am to enjoy heart connections
with art blog buds like you!
To all of you on my blog roll,
(and others who check in here)
thank-you for your blog budness,
your heart connections
and your beautiful art, too!
